MySQL query to fetch the latest date from a table with date records
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( DueDate date ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.56 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2018-10-01'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2016-12-31'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-07-02'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2015-01-12'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-04-26'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------------+ | DueDate | +------------+ | 2018-10-01 | | 2016-12-31 | | 2019-07-02 | | 2015-01-12 | | 2019-04-26 | +------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Let’s say the current date is 2019-08-15. Now we will fetch the latest date −
mysql> select *from DemoTable order by DueDate DESC limit 1;
This will produce the following output −
+------------+ | DueDate | +------------+ | 2019-07-02 | +------------+ 1 row in set (0.03 sec)
